Guest guest Posted April 3, 2002 Report Share Posted April 3, 2002 Hi Liz and everyone, Being that this is a popular topic of interest at the list, I'm posting some information on the subject of vaccines and mercury. Below is an archive on " Mercury in Vaccines Update " posted by Sallie Bernard, the Executive Director of Safe Minds. Ms. Bernard is a member of Cherab and keeps our group well informed on the latest information. I had the pleasure of meeting Ms. Bernard at Cherab Foundation Apraxia conference this past July. I must say, I am intriqued and admire that she is an advocate for the children and her knowledge in the field of ARC research. I'm sure you will find Ms. Bernards expertise on this subject very informative and helpful to your concerns. Mustafa Childrensapraxianet Archive Message 5179 Mercury in Vaccines Update /message/5179 (Some about Sallie Bernard) " Sallie Bernard is president of ARC Research, a market research and marketing consulting firm located in Cranford, NJ. She is the parent of triplet boys, one of whom has autism. Sallie is a Board Member of Cure Autism Now, the Executive Director of New Jersey Cure Autism Now, and a co-founder and Executive Director of Safe Minds. Safe Minds (http://www.safeminds.org) was established to investigate the association between thimerosal in vaccines and other medical products and the onset of neurodevelopmental and learning disorders. Sallie is the lead author of " Autism: a Unique Form of Mercury Poisoning " and a co-author of " Predicted Mercury Concentrations in Hair from Infant Immunizations: Cause for Concern. " " Does the fact that the mercury is accompanied by a vaccine somehow place it above scrutiny? The Sallie Bernard study of vaccines & mercury toxicity was probably the main reason Congress began to see the obvious correlation. " Hearing, " Mercury in Medicine: Are We Taking Unnecessary Risks?

" Where to Get Vaccine Information - " The National Vaccine Information Center (NVIC) is a national, non-profit educational organization founded in 1982. It is the oldest and largest national organization advocating reformation of the mass vaccination system and is responsible for launching the vaccine safety movement in America in the early 1980=92s.
